Eustls Lake Region: II the people OF
Eustis would spend $40, 900 in advertising
| their place, SO that everyone in the Uni
ted states ard Canada should hear OF our
beautiful lake region and It's innumera-
! bic advantages OF climate, situation, So
ciety, etc, we would be the gamers by It..
| Dakota, as a Territory, appropriated $l0,-
! 600 last year TOR advertising, with the re-
! suit Of attracting thousands Of settlers
who would be glad 10 get away again,
! some OF them being frozen to death. Cali
| lorna advertised extensively and reduced
| the railroad fare 10 a nominal rate. Now,
! by such Il policy, Florida and Eustis
! might bring a similar wave OF desirable
/ emigration, with the probability that IL
| would come TO stay. What avails IL
that we provide railroad and hotel ac-
commodations that spend our money on
public improvements, on sidewalks,
streets, bands, base ball grounds, church.
| es, public schools, seminary, ana even on
college, (although we did not get it),
on every thing that can make Eusts "A
pleasant aud desirable place of re sideucc
for all kinds Of people, II then after all
this none hears OF our lakeside Eden.
